Retail and Real Estate: The Dimension of Spatial Evolution. “We tend to take retailing as an activity for granted. After all, the sector is a traditional part of our daily lives. But the retail sector is a major contributor to economy and society--as a job creator, as a source of innovation and as a growth multiplier. This thorough, authoritative, and perceptive book gets to the heart of the historical role and contribution of retailing and effectively spells out the ways in which retailing is transforming itself, with significant implications for EU policymakers.”—Jonathan Reynolds, Associate Professor of Retail Marketing, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford “The book highlights the transformative impact of technology, sustainability, and policy actions on the retail sector. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the past, present, and future of retailing in Europe and beyond.”—Christel Delberghe, Director General, EuroCommerce The retail industry is rapidly changing, especially as technologies advance and digital retail becomes more accessible. This book explains the ongoing poly-transformations of the European retail industry and explores strategic adaptation and adopting potential policies that can help support the transitions required. Emphasizing the necessary collaboration required between policymakers, industry professionals, and academics, The Economics of Retailing provides essential information for stakeholders to make informed decisions to support retailing.
